Another Way

Recorded introduction by Fedor Tot, curator for Cinema Rediscovered. In the offices of state-controlled newspaper The Truth, two female journalists - Éva (Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak) and Livia (Grażyna Szapołowska) - tentatively embark on a clandestine, highly charged affair. The year is 1957 and the Soviet Invasion of Hungary is still a fresh memory for them, yet the icy authoritarian mood ensures that freedom of expression remains a dangerous business. Whether the authority is a censorial bureaucrat or a jealous husband, the truth suffers as a result, regardless of whether that truth is a news item or a romantic desire. Jankowska-Cieślak won the Best Actress award at Cannes in 1982 for her incredible work, here aided by Károly Makk’s sensitive and humanist direction. This remains an exquisite work of anti-authoritarian filmmaking, harking back to the country’s invasion by a foreign power to remark on its then still-present restrictions. Screening as part of Queer Cinema from the Eastern Bloc, a season from Cinema Rediscovered. Hungarian with English subtitlesDramaPT1H42MN/C 18+2025-02-18
